    There’s also a black one available if you get brand new.

    Sure, here’s the 2nd hand one I found. but, if you want brand new I think Merchant City & PMT sell them… https://www.google.co.uk/shopping/product/1475414785243276044?lsf=seller:283188731,store:667309287994153248,lsfqd:0&prds=oid:18354425857173293485&q=bass+guitars&hl=en&ei=nkaTZ8KGLtGehbIP_pGwiQo&sts=14&lsft=gclid:Cj0KCQiA7se8BhCAARIsAKnF3rxkBEKmTqq_AfOoSkxP5S895HwAkHlY6N0k0i-Hh2WgMi2BQgofZswaAvWvEALw_wcB

    Oh yeah! Thanks, I must remember to take all of my future photos in front of garage doors so I don’t look so much of a short a**e 😂

    Possibly, I do think that as it’s narrower than a Fender headstock it makes it appear longer. Although I would say it didn’t look big in real life. But, I will say. One of things that I dislike about Sire as a brand is the headstock, not to my taste at all. Speaking of headstocks, I had a look at one of these online and the stock pictures look completely different to this picture of a second hand one I also came across. The headstock looks huge in the 2nd hand pic!

    Popped in to my local music shop earlier today and he’d acquired this yesterday… Fortunately for my bank account, he hadn’t had chance to set it up and it had been sat in storage for a while. So, it didn’t blow me away on the spot although it was very nice. Can’t get over how nice the top is on these for the money though 👌

    One of the above, in a used but good working condition with a couple of Velcro pads on the bottom. Will come in a box, but it’s the wrong box. £35 posted.

    @JohnDaBass seems happy with his 👍

    Phwoar

    Very nice! There’s something about that colour config that makes me go ‘phwoar’

    Going with a friend and it’s looking like we’ll be heading there on the Sunday! Looking forward to this. Any more info on potential clinics or exhibitors? I might be missing something but I can’t find a breakdown on their website

    The Xcerts last night in Birmingham. Was good fun!

    Another for ACS customs this end or if you’re using in ears regularly then you’d be surprised at how much a good set of moulded headphones will cut out external noise and allow you to work at a much lower level. Can’t recommend Miles from Dakin Custom Audio highly enough if you go down that route. Incredibly knowledgeable and doesn’t discriminate from weekend warrior to arena regular. https://www.dakincustomaudio.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAApFMcv0u4bHv1uEW46aJkDGdFGNu1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-KDg0-z1igMV1JZQBh3rTwCZEAAYASAAEgIBWfD_BwE

    Not 100% on how to price this but… It’s in desperate need of a service and needs the power connection replacing as it’s a bit loose. Note - this was converted to be powered only years ago and no longer runs on batteries. They go anywhere between £160-£200 brand new with box etc in a good condition. Which, this is not. It was bought for me as a Christmas present in about 2003/4 (Imagine my parents face when they read ‘Russian big muff’ on my Xmas list 😂) Used solidly for about 8 years and has signs of such use including remnants of the gaffer tape I used to use to hold the position of the knobs. It’s sat in storage since about 2011. So, I’m going to put it up at £80 which is half of the cheapest perfect condition, working price I’ve seen. But, I’m not trying to rip anyone off so open to offers on this and wouldn’t write off trades for preamps, Chorus or compression pedals, or cases for short scales. +£5 postage to mainland UK https://youtube.com/shorts/jxTjulbQicg?si=duFNeNoyczDZiy5Q

    Thanks for this, I’ve seen the build diary before and really enjoyed it! Hadn’t seen the recordings, sounds really good that!
  15. AlexDelores
    Yeah I’d essentially be looking at replicating the Pawn Shop but I don’t think those pickups are available? Not sure I didn’t think of trying just trying a split coil upgrade first but that could well be the first step! Thanks all!
  16. AlexDelores
    Would consider trades for Pre amp or Chorus pedals.
  17. AlexDelores
    Yeah I did look at them as there’s one for sale in my local shop… But, I really, really don’t like the shape of the headstock on G&L basses. Shallow, I know. But it’s just not my thing.
  18. AlexDelores
    That’s a good shout. Will have a look. Thank you 🙏

    Who’s put a humbucker on a Mustang? Has it noticeably changed the sound? I’d like to give mine a more ‘woolly’ sound as I’m not a massive fan of the single coil ‘twang’ and tend to dial the tone right down. Humbuckers are generally my favourite pickup sound but I’m cautious that the positioning and scale of the Mustang might not impact the sound that much. I’m pretty clueless when it comes to mods etc so just getting an idea of if it’s worth it before I go down a rabbit hole.

    I’ve got to say, one of the ads popped up on instagram a few days ago and I think they’re very nice looking and sounding instruments. Especially for the price point. The only thing that isn’t to my taste aesthetically is the stripe on the headstock. Has anyone actually picked one up yet?
  22. AlexDelores
    Ah well, I agree with all 3 comments. They are very nice headstocks.
  23. AlexDelores
    If you read all 3 of those comments out loud In one go, Robert Trujillo will appear.

    I was there for this too and was right towards the front as she was on just before Kings of Leon. You’re right it was a shambles but in hindsight, very sad to see… I remember being able to see the discolour and dirt on her clothes! 😟

    Guns & Roses at Reading 2010? I think Dreadful, truly dreadful.
